Design
Pitch, style sheet and flat plan
Indie and pop

2. Why I’ve chosen my genre
I love a wide range of music from artists such a Taylor Swift to
Bon Jovi, but one genre of music that I really love is indie and
indie rock. I love bands such as The Killers and Imagine Dragons.
However, the results from my survey show that the majority of
people like pop music. I’ve taken this into consideration and
decided to an indie pop magazine as many of the bands/artists I
listen to also have a bit of a pop feel.

3. Pitch document
Name – IndiePop! Clearly tells the audience the genre of the
magazine and what it’s about
Indication of style/attitude etc. – dark-ish colours, photos from
concerts and photo-shoots
Cost, editions - £1.60 I’ve chosen this price because my research
shows people are willing to pay between £1.50-£2
Target audience – teenage 14-18
Sample article ideas – NME, Q and Spin

4. Style sheet

Masthead: quirky/adventurous so that it stands out and

I’ll be using the sans serif which is bold lettering to make it stand

masthead.
